Michael D. St. Mary
Attorney.
Clerk, Pres. 68 Dock St.
NOTE.—The declaration must be accompanied by satisfactory proof of the marriage, of the husband's death, and the present widowhood of the claimant. If there be a public record of the marriage, a duly certified copy of it should be forwarded, if possible. If there be none but a private or family record, such family record, or a certified copy of the same, should be forwarded, with the affidavit of some disinterested persons proving the genuineness of the original and the correctness of the copy. If no public or private record of the marriage exist, or can be procured, that fact should be set forth in the declaration; and in such case, other evidence—such as the testimony of persons who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them to cohabit as husband and wife, and to be so reputed—will be admissible.
¶ In no case, however, will the mere statement of witnesses that the claimant is the widow of the deceased be taken as evidence of the marriage; but the witnesses must state facts and circumstances from which they derive their knowledge or opinion that she is the widow of the deceased.

Sir Sir,
I enclose You the additional evidence in the case of my Daughter - Mr William Holgate states that he saw John Dattwich in the service of the British in the war - that he was in several campaigns and that his last time was in the Captain's when there Holgate at the battle of Bandywine & Brandywine - He also states that Dattwich was not more than a year in this case. Therefore You have the proof of two eyes witnesses who served in the Dattwich Detachment his services, and You have the testimony of his sister, who saw him go out and return and You have the British Declaration - Thus I think there is all sufficient to prove that from him - as the act of Congress so far as it relates to Military & Colonies, then, in this is a validity .
Yours affecly

Dear Sir,
In reply to the
of 6 March last Commission of Printing Washington D.C.

Sir
Mr. Dutton's friends think that Mr. Cook has not had that attention consideration that is due only and that your conclusion against him is erroneous - By reference to your letter of August 28, 1838, I find your report to State, "I have alleged that he was called out as a militia man of Poughkeepsie Bride the Year before the Battle of Germantown and served there three months and that he was in service twice in 1777 - One of the witnesses testifying to these facts and stating that at one time he was out but a short time - upon this your repealed disproved the claim. Afterwardly an opportunity was afforded of hearing the testimony of Captain William Hokegate with whom Dutton was in the campaign of 1776 - at Anboy - as well as I am sure he was. He proves that the militia upon that occasion remained out three three months at the least solicitation

of General Mifflin, and I find a letter from General Wadsworth in that way Genl. supporting this fact about the associated Militia of Penn & Virginia to serve longer than their terms required to give time for the Flying Camp to be formed. Captain Hot gate means, that his brother and brother's child stay and serve a longer period. saw the friend of two sons. They in 1776. In 1777. He was out served four months - again - In 1777. He was out twice - one full period of two months - and another by the previous testimony before. But they generally prove that he has been also a full period - or that in fact. He has served full 8 months. Yet his widow, claim is six months - From the great vigilance that you are required to exercise in investigating these Claims - and the proof of them upon you - I can easily understand how a mistake may be made. I hope however Sir, that as the bones of proof, both State and National are so lamentably defective, that you will not require

None proof than Andover County, seems to be the only one to guard the treasury from improper expenditure - I have not received a single article for the widow of my brother in Abilene, Kansas, State - I only refer to it now as a fact to show how difficult it is under the regulations to establish a claim - I hope
Yrs. that Your answer to this will provide an ex- plan.

John Dutweiler, W. 3401
Philip Markley, O. N. I. F. 20854
Agnes W. Storer 161 George Street New Brunswick New Jersey
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the records of John Detweiler, Henrich Kolb and Samuel Smallwood who served in the Revolution and Philip Markley who served in the War of 1812.
The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any information in regard to Hendrich Kolb and Samuel Smallwood.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W. 3401, based upon the Revolutionary War service of John Dutweiler, Dutwiler, Detweiler or Detwiler, the only soldier of that name that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
While a resident of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, he enlisted at Springfield in that county and served during 1776 and 1777, more than six months as private and sergeant in Captains Jacob Neff's and Matthew Holgate's companies in Colonel Smith's Pennsylvania regiment and was in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown.
He married May 22 or 26, 1787, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, Barbara Roof or Ruff.
He died July 15, 1822, at Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania.
On account of his service in the Revolution, his widow, Barbara, was allowed pension on her application executed July 26, 1838, at which time she was about seventy-two years of age and was living in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.
In 1855 she was living at Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania.

John and Barbara Dutweiler or Detweiler had the following children:
Mary born February 26, 1788, died April 18, 1790 Frederick " March 20, 1789 Jacob " November 15, 1790 Elizabeth " January 15, 1793, died November 22, 1798 Sarah " September 11, 1795 Mary " October 28, 1797.
Frederick Roof or Ruff, brother of the widow, was living in 1838, aged seventy-three years. The soldier's sister, Miriam Smith, was living in 1839, aged seventy-five years. In 1843 one Samuel Dutweiler acted as witness in behalf of the widow, relationship not given. *****
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, C.W.I.F. 20854, based upon disability incurred by Philip Markley while serving in the War of 1812.
Philip Markley was born in Adams County, Pennsylvania, date not given. The names of his parents were not given.
He enlisted July 1, 1812, served as private in Captain Foulk's company in the 22nd Regiment of United States Infantry. During the battle of Bridgewater, Canada, July 25, 1814, he received a wound in the left knee. He was discharged November 24, 1815, at which time he was about twenty-seven years of age.
On account of disability resulting from the above noted wound he was pensioned from November 25, 1815.
In 1831 he was a resident of Crawford County, Ohio. He then stated that he had lived there for one year and that previous to that time he lived in Franklin County, Pennsylvania.
In 1831 one Mathias Markley was living in Crawford County, Ohio, relation to soldier not given.
This is the history of the only Philip Markley on account of whose service in the War of 1812 a claim for pension was made to the United States as shown by the records of this office.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator
